Facing up to misinformation. This stuff is everywhere ; The damage that it does ; On weasel words ; Building your own bullshitometer -- Stalking the wild baloney. Noble monkeys: where we all came from ; The wonderful power of woo ; Bugs and bodies: mysteries of medicine ; Implacable foes of reason: the antivaxers ; No hoax: the truth about climate change ; That isn't exactly how it went: faking history ; Coprolite claims: faking archaeology ; All the news that's fit to take.
Uses modern, ripped-from-the-headlines examples to clearly explain how to identify bad evidence and dismantle poor arguments.
